A Great Bargain Fast Laser Printer for Home Use

 

Introduction If you are like me, you are probably here to find out what other people think of the Brother HL-2040 laser printer and to figure it out whether the Brother HL-2040 is a good printer or not. I will tell you why I decided to buy the ...

Super fast print job, cheap toner, small and compact for a laser printer

Give that Color Inkjet a Break

 

I had long looked for an affordable black laser printer as a secondary printer to my color inkjet. I found that a good portion of the material I was printing did not require color. I also realized that I didn't print very often, so the ink cartridge ...

Easy to install, print is fast and sharp, low price, bypass feeder

Bypass-fed paper must be held straight while being fed into printer

Great for a cheap, entry-level laser printer!

 

I've been using an HL-2040 for about 7 months now, as my desktop laser printer on my office PC, and we purchased a second one around the same time that our company Vice-President uses. Considering you can regularly find these on clearance type sales ...

Cheap, good print quality, small and fairly quiet

Bad customer support, some driver issues

Great, cheap laser printer

 

I bought this printer for the use of printing out 10-20 page PDF documents in a quick timeframe with good quality text. After a couple of days shopping around online in my spare time, I narrowed the choice down to two: a HP Laserjet 1020, or this one, ...

Fast, no problems, large paper holding capacity, CHEAP. CHEAP. CHEAP

Fairly loud

Excellent for home and office!

 

Back in 2004 I purchased the Brother laser printer. I worked from home, and was printing more and more documents that my color inkjet just couldn't handle. At under $100, it was an excellent buy! I've worked in offices, with all kinds of printers. I ...

Fast, reliable, and prints well

It's not free or color

Brother HL-2040

 

Well, I have been using inkjet pritners for quite a while now and finally got tired of buying ink cartriges that were going to last about a month for over half the cost of the printer.. So, I went out and bought the Brother HL-2040.. I have seen some ...

Great printer, not a bad price.

Only black and white, but didn't cost much either.

A Printer of Brother-ly Love...

 

We finally bit the bullet last fall and invested in a printer that was more than thirty dollars. Yeah, I know. Time to grow up, eh? Well, we didn't have a lot of money, so we picked up the Brother HL-2040 Laser Printer. It was about $80.00 after ...

Speed, crispness of printing, low price

Some slight curling--nothing to write home about

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Great print quality, amazingly bad paper curling

 

I got this printer for $69 plus tax shipped. Even at that price I would not recommend it. The print quality is really good, no complaints there at all. It is also very fast and not nearly as noisy as other reviews made it sound. The construction is ...

Print quality, Cost of consumables, size, not that noisy

CURLING!!!!, Paper Tray Design, Build Quality, did I mention curling?

Incredible Budget Laser Printer (Upd. 4/16/07)

 

My beloved Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W would need a new drum soon, something I didn’t want to spend 120$ on. I was looking out for an equivalent printer, but because of a few nasty quirks (most notably poor graphics quality and the toner reset ...

Paper Capacity/Handling, Print Quality & Speed, Intuitive Driver and Control Panel

None that stand out

Pleased with Brother HL-2040

 

After reading "Some hidden details, Plus a full review" I went out and bought the printer at Dick Smith Sprinvale for $89 with a two week return facility in case it is in appropriate. Compared to the Samsung ML 1740 I purchased last year the Brother ...

Cheap, reasonably priced replacement toner,easy to install, quiet, goes to sleep after print.
